Abstract

Disclosed is an apparatus for processing an input signal, having a perceptual weighter and a quantizer. The perceptual weighter has a model provider and a model applicator. The model provider provides a perceptual weighted model based on the input signal. The model applicator provides a perceptually weighted spectrum by applying the perceptual weighted model to a spectrum based on the input signal. The quantizer is configured to quantize the perceptually weighted spectrum and for providing a bitstream. The quantizer has a random matrix applicator and a sign function calculator. The random matrix applicator is configured for applying a random matrix to the perceptually weighted spectrum in order to provide a transformed spectrum. The sign function calculator is configured for calculating a sign function of components of the transformed spectrum in order to provide the bitstream. The invention further refers to an apparatus for processing an encoded signal and to corresponding methods.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application claims priority from European Application No. 16160369.1, which was filed on Mar. 15, 2016, and from European Application No. 16189893.7, which was filed on Sep. 21, 2016, which are both incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The invention refers to an encoding apparatus for processing an input signal and to a decoding apparatus for processing an encoded signal. The invention also refers to corresponding methods and to a computer program.

[0003] A central part of speech and audio codecs are their perceptual models, which describe the relative perceptual importance of errors in different elements of the signal representation. In practice, the perceptual models consist of signal-dependent weighting factors which are used in quantization of each element. For optimal performance, it would be desirable to use the same perceptual model at the decoder. While the perceptual model is sign...
